63 Camden Street

I really enjoy building in The Sims 2 albeit it's a little harder than in The Sims 4.  

In TS4 you can push and pull walls and add foundations to already built houses.  You can't do that in TS2 and although I have a few problems with roofing, I eventually get it right in the end.

The Sims 2 seems to be getting more popular these days, probably due to the gameplay which seems to be more in-depth and the Sims in 2 seem to react better to situations than they do in 4.  For example, Sims 2 Sims will look at the camera when waiting for the player to direct them to do something or if you as the player sell an object from their home or it gets taken by a burglar or the Repo Man, they will go over to where the object was, sigh and shake their heads or get angry that the item was taken.  Sims 4 Sims just don't seem to care in my opinion.

There are still many custom content creators out there, past and present, who have created and are still creating for The Sims 2.  Even expansion packs and kits for The Sims 4 have been converted to The Sims 2 and this is great for Sims 2 players like myself who can still get new content for such an old but brilliant game.

For me, I care more about my Sims 2 Sims than I have for Sims from any of the other iterations and so I want them to have nice homes to live in, which brings me to my build of 63 Camden Street.

This house is a 3 x 3 lot and will cost your Sim 87,420 Simoleons - nothing that Motherlode cannot fix!  It has one bedroom, one bathroom, a study and an open-plan living room/kitchen/diner.  It also has a back porch with a barbecue and plots outside for planting seeds.  And of course, as there are cars in The Sims 2, it has a nice driveway with a brand new shiny red car.

I did use custom content in this build which seems to bring The Sims 2 more up to date and modern and my Sims really love their new home!  Here are a few pics:

And of course, I made a speed build video for my channel on YouTube which shows some gameplay at the end of my Sims testing the lot out.

You can also download this lot for your game should you want it for your Sims.  The links to download are in the description of the video and also pinned to the comments section.
